For four years, Britain's Royal Navy and Italy's Regia Marina waged a ferocious battle for control of the Mediterranean Sea. Fifty (yes, 50!) scenarios re-create these struggles: such as, the battleship duels at Cape Teulada, First Sirte, Second Sirte, and Cape Matapan; the convoys to Malta; and the Italian torpedo boat Lupo's defeat of three british Cruisers.
